Jiang Sanniang watched with great envy and immediately knelt down before Hu Mingmei, pleading, "Young Master, I beg you, please release Yu Ziqing!"
Bai Nuo was startled and quickly pulled Hu Mingmei away. She tried to bend over but it hurt, so she could only say to Jiang Sanniang, "Sister Sanniang, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Then he called to Jiang Qiao'er, "Qiao'er, quickly help Third Sister up."
"Sister!" Jiang Qiao'er, who had been watching from the side, wanted to help Jiang San Niang up when she knelt down, but then remembered that Jiang San Niang had come to ask for a favor, so Jiang Qiao'er didn't dare to move. Now that she heard what Bai Nuo said, she quickly helped Jiang San Niang up, saying as she did so, "What are you doing? Don't force Bai Nuo!"
Even she could see that she was forcing Bai Nuo to release the person, so how could this man not see it? He would only be more unwilling to release the person.
Hu Mingmei stood beside Bai Nuo, holding Bai Nuo's hand, her eyes icy cold as she looked at Jiang Sanniang. "Get up first."
Jiang San Niang then stood up and leaned weakly against Jiang Qiao'er. "Young Master, it was Yu Ziqing's fault. He shouldn't have hit Bai Nuo. I apologize on his behalf. Please be magnanimous and let him off the hook. Please don't hold it against him!"
Hu Mingmei gave a soft snort and remained silent.
Bai Nuola tugged at Hu Mingmei's sleeve, signaling Hu Mingmei not to make things difficult for Jiang Sanniang.
She realized that Hu Mingmei was aloof and cold in front of others, rarely uttering more than ten words at a time, but she was a chatterbox in front of her.
Hu Mingmei remained silent, but Jiang Sanniang had been watching Bai Nuo's actions closely. As a result, Jiang Sanniang's gaze towards Bai Nuo became even more ardent.
Hu Mingmei remained silent, so Bai Nuo had no choice but to shake Hu Mingmei's sleeve again.
Hu Mingmei turned his head and saw his little girl looking at him pitifully, her eyes blinking as if they were filled with light, and with a hint of pleading, like a pet that had made a mistake. Hu Mingmei's heart softened.
Oh well, his Nuonuo is always so soft-hearted. Didn't he already know that all along?
"Go and take the man to the county government office."
This meant they agreed to release them. Seeing that Jiang San Niang still didn't understand, Bai Nuo had no choice but to say, "We don't want them to know that we were the ones who did it. When we locked them up, we said we would hand them over to the authorities."
Jiang San Niang nodded abruptly, "I won't tell them the truth, Nuonuo, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." As she spoke, she couldn't hold back any longer and covered her mouth, bursting into tears.
Bai Nuo shook his head, completely speechless, and could only instruct, "Don't make a sound later, just follow him. He will bring the person out and return them to you when we reach our destination!"
Hu Mingmei wasn't afraid of trouble; she just didn't want to deal with these petty people and scumbags.
Jiang San Niang nodded abruptly.
Seeing that Hu Mingmei had nodded, Lu Ying and Xia Donglai had no choice but to bring Yu Ziqing and the others out. As soon as they were brought out, Yu Ziqing kept begging for mercy, saying things like, "I know I was wrong, please don't hit me."
Old Mrs. Yu begged for mercy loudly, then cursed loudly, like a madwoman.
Zhang Jiyue, on the other hand, kept crying and calling out "Brother Ziqing, Brother Ziqing" over and over again.
Jiang San Niang burst into tears the moment she saw Yu Ziqing. She saw Yu Ziqing blindfolded, looking neither human nor ghost—no, Hu Mingmei had only beaten him; he didn't have a habit of abusing people. She cried even harder, but Bai Nuo kept shaking her head at her, so she dared not make a sound.
After Lu Ying and Xia Donglai brought the person out, they led them all the way to the door and then disappeared. Jiang San Niang, seeing that they had all vanished, exclaimed in surprise, "Where did they go?"
"The county government!" Hu Mingmei said, still sparing with his words, "We won't take the land route."
Bai Nuo comforted Jiang San Niang, "Go wait by the county government office first. We said we'd release them, and we'll definitely do it. We won't go back on our word. It's daytime now, so it's not good for us to be exposed to people."
Just imagine the sensation that would be caused if Lu Ying paraded through the streets with two blindfolded people.
Jiang San Niang nodded and quickly ran out.
"Let's go take a look too!" Bai Nuo said to Hu Mingmei after Jiang San Niang left.
Hu Mingmei nodded.
So, Bai Nuo and the others followed Jiang San Niang and walked towards the county government office.
When Jiang San Niang arrived, Lu Ying and Xia Donglai were already waiting for her. When she saw Yu Ziqing and the others squatting on the ground, Jiang San Niang instinctively wanted to run over, but Lu Ying gently shushed her, and Jiang San Niang slowed down.
When Lu Ying and Xia Donglai saw her arrive, they left. Jiang San Niang quickly ran over, untied the ropes binding Yu Ziqing, and then removed the blindfold from Yu Ziqing's eyes. "Ziqing, Ziqing, it's alright, it's alright."
Yu Ziqing regained his sight and his mind went blank for a moment before he came to his senses. When he saw that it was Jiang San Niang, he was overjoyed and asked, "San Niang, what brings you here?"
Jiang Sanniang laughed and cried at the same time, hugging Yu Ziqing and saying, "You're free now, the adults have released you."
"Really?" Yu Ziqing was overjoyed. "That's great! Where's my mother?" He looked around and saw that his mother was still sitting on the ground. He immediately called out, "Mother!" Then he quickly squatted down and untied the ropes binding Old Lady Yu.
Then it was Zhang Jiyue's turn.
"You wretch!" As soon as Old Lady Yu was freed, she slapped Jiang San Niang.
Bai Nuo witnessed all of this. The others watched from a distance. When Jiang San Niang was beaten, Bai Nuo instinctively wanted to go up, but Hu Mingmei grabbed him, saying, "Don't go. You're a fool. You can save her for a while, but not forever."
